​WABC-TV (channel 7) is a television station in New York City, serving as the flagship of the ABC network. Owned and operated by the network's ABC Owned Television Stations division, the station maintains studios in the Lincoln Square neighborhood of Manhattan, adjacent to ABC's corporate headquarters; its transmitter is located at the Empire State Building. WABC-TV is best known in broadcasting circles for its version of the Eyewitness News format and for its morning show, syndicated nationally by corporate cousin Disney General Entertainment Content. The station signed on August 10, 1948, as WJZ-TV. The station's call letters were changed to WABC-TV on March 1, 1953, after ABC merged its operations with United Paramount Theatres, a firm which was broken off from former parent company Paramount Pictures by decree of the U.S. government.

Kicked Off WABC Radio, Giuliani Still Spreading Lies On YouTube
Since WABC canceled Rudy Giuliani’s radio shows for reportedly ignoring warnings to stop spreading 2020 election misinformation, he continued to make baseless allegations about the 2020 election on YouTube, including repeatedly claiming that “the election was stolen” and asserting that “to say I’m not going to discuss the 2020 elections is to say I’m going to allow the 2024 elections to be stolen.” Media Matters reviewed Giuliani’s YouTube channel, where he streamed every weekday and five Sundays during the two months following WABC’s cancelation of his shows (May 10 through July 12). We found that he spread misinformation about the 2020 and/or 2024 elections on 90 percent of those days.  (National Memo 11/1/24) READ MORE>>>>>

The Washington Examiner is an American conservative news outlet based in Washington, D.C., consisting of a website and a weekly printed magazine. It is owned by Philip Anschutz through MediaDC, a subsidiary of Clarity Media Group. From 2005 to 2013, the Examiner published a daily tabloid-sized newspaper, distributed throughout the Washington, D.C. metro area. The newspaper focused primarily on local news and political commentary. The local newspaper ceased publication on June 14, 2013, whereupon its content began to focus almost exclusively on national politics from a conservative point of view. The Examiner switched its print edition from a daily newspaper to an expanded print weekly magazine format.

Media’s struggle to survive driven by ideological suicide
Though no simple explanation exists for why traditional media are losing the struggle to survive in the digital era, much of the industry’s woes can be attributed to self-inflicted wounds. Mass media production, for instance, taught audiences long ago that they don’t have to pay directly for the news. Who wants to shell out for information that will eventually appear elsewhere at no cost, whether on the radio, news aggregation websites, or televisions in public spaces? Not enough paying customers, that’s who.
